America, are you really big brother?

The film "Seeing the Sun again" is highly rated and is said to be another version of "Prison Break". It looks good. I have seen a little bit about the war between the United States and Vietnam, and this film seems to want to look at the US military in the Vietnam War in a documentary form. In fact, it is still American-style heroism. Compared with "Prison Break" It is a pediatrician, and it does not have a lot of technical content. It is an American pilot who became a prisoner of war in Vietnam and survived in a harsh environment. Because it is in the context of war, the form is more severe. The protagonist is reduced for this film. One-third of the body weight, if you want to lose weight, it would be good to ask him to learn from his experience.
Originally, I gave up on comedy because of the mention of "Prison Break" and watched it at 1:00 pm, and then because of the coffee during the day and the war movie at night, my brain was so excited that I couldn't sleep.
What I am interested in is how Americans view the Vietnam War. This war is a serious blow to the heart of the US military. During the Vietnam War, the United States dropped 8 million tons of explosives on Vietnam, costing more than 400 billion US dollars, 540,000 people participated in the war, and lost more than 4,000 billions of dollars, and it dragged on for 12 years. So is the attitude of the Vietnamese to the United States the same as the attitude of the Chinese to Japan? Japan Lai has been notorious for eight years in China. I even heard a friend tell me this: It is forbidden to swallow devil's things. So he doesn't eat sushi. The U.S. military's brutality in Vietnam is also everywhere, so how did Vietnam deal with prisoners of war? I wanted to be far more brutal than what was shown in the film.
I remember something Khrushchev said a bit amused: Americans should put a hedgehog in their pants. Isn't that right? Looking at the history of the United States, it is the history of wars. Looking at the wars of this century, most of them were carried out by the Americans. Khrushchev, the leader of the former Soviet Union, did exactly that. When the young President Kennedy took office, he was intimidated and bullied by him.
But then again, with the exception of that special case, the United States has its share of finger-pointing everywhere. In civil wars between countries such as the mainland and Taiwan, there is always this big brother at the negotiating table of other countries, such as North Korea and South Korea. I am reminded of the narration of a teacher who taught American students to learn Chinese: an American student learns Chinese, his major is international politics, he is of pure Nordic descent, but he was born and raised in the United States. When people asked him why he wanted to study international politics and why Americans always had to meddle in other countries' business, he stared at angel-like light blue eyes, and answered clearly in the Chinese he had just learned with great sincerity: " We Americans don’t care about international affairs, who cares?”
Oh, this is American heroism. Watching this movie made in the United States is just to beautify yourself. As for me, I couldn't help but want to take stock of several artillery fires that had some influence on the United States. Although it is all history, there is nothing today that can defeat the high profile of this international big brother. I'll end the Vietnam War in many of the films I've seen in detail at the end.
The Korean War, a battle for sovereignty and unification between North Korea and South Korea, which was later established (South Korea), was also the first war for the United States to cross the "38th Parallel" and was considered a direct threat by China and had to fight New China's first war "Resist America and Aid Korea". I am most concerned about this in the war involving China's participation. I even personally think that Stalin of the Soviet Union was a liar at that time. On the one hand, he supported China's participation and on the other hand, he used the United States as an excuse to stay at home, while the Soviet Union provided China with military equipment. Provided that we are heavily indebted when we need development the most, the front is resisting US aggression and aid Korea, and the domestic people in the rear are struggling with poverty and hardship.
China's civil war, China's many years of civil war and the anti-Japanese incidents in the United States will not be discussed first, but the Taiwan issue has been in a stalemate for more than half a century, and the role of the United States in it is obvious. China established diplomatic relations as a behind-the-scenes commander of the Kuomintang. At the time of the Korean War, the United States had already realized the importance of Taiwan.
Iraq War: UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said the Iraqi side is very cooperative and the US has no reason to attack Baghdad. Besides, the US really doesn't think it's appropriate for the US to contact the Iranian nuclear weapons report first? This is an information age war, so we get field information quickly and directly. I have always personally believed that China's attitude is very disappointing. After the War of Resistance Against US Aggression and Aid Korea, China learned to be obedient, didn't it? Always maintain a neutral attitude in international disputes related to war, stay out of the matter, at most a moral expression and a few words of "protest", carefully develop one's own development, let alone dispatch easily. What is the result of this? Yes, everyone is wary of China's military might, but what about political status? What about the role in the United Nations?
The Vietnam War was caused by North Vietnam and South Vietnam, because the United States came all the way to fight the war involving the entire Southeast Asia.
The American war correspondent Edgar recalled that in 1964, he went to Cu Chi County, not far from Saigon, to interview and report, and found that there were American corpses floating in the Ganmi River in the middle of the county seat. It glowed a terrifying dark green in the sun. Occasionally a few children passed by, fiddling with the corpse with long wooden sticks, looking for valuables. In a field rescue department of the U.S. military, soldiers who were bombed with missing arms and legs were lying on a hospital bed. According to the nurse, Miss Huss, she disposes of four to five bags of stumps almost every day.
When trying to negotiate and the other side reacted lukewarmly, the U.S. military finally had to "receive a decent retreat."
The Americans finally said: "The Vietnam War may have been a tragedy, and the United States should not have broken into it at all." It is a pity that this kind of war continues. It didn't stop him from reading the lesson.
